Wow that is gorgeous. That parachute is deturant enough to any Ricer's out there:) I like the 5" Tach built it, I am thinking about doing that, I haven't mmade any measurements yet, but do you think there is enough room to fit a 5" Tach, and 5" Speedo?

Sweet mother of God! What a beautiful car!:thumb: Good luck on edging into the 8's. Can't wait to see it at the Shootout next year!
 
How is the boost doing with only one wastegate? All the GT42Rs I've seen use two TIAL 38mm wastegates due to the twin scroll turbine housing of the GT42R. I personaly know of at least 5 cars that all run the twin wastegates. I'm not saying your setup is wrong but all of those cars must be doing this for a reason.
 
boosted spartan unless you know what you are doing, and the car won't be used on the street except from some driving on the weekends, I wouldn't fill your block. Also there is no need to unless you are pushing out some serious power. Jake H. has an AWD with 828whp, and it is unfilled with no problems, so unless you are making more then him, I would not waste the time, the stock block has proven to handle 99.3% of what we throw at it.

awesome statistics, are you sure they are accurate :p

So you didn't touch the floor of the 2g runners to much? This interestsme because I understand why its better and I hope people hop on the 2g head bandwagon :)

well every one has a diferent opinion on the head but for the amount of boost u will be runninga 1g head will muve that volume of air more eficienly than the 2g onebut that is just me

Hmmmm, 8's and streetable, defently two words you don't hear in the same sentence that often :D That is going to be one hell of a daily driver, looks great :thumb:

John Shep's car was streetable in the high 8's....i think...full exhaust,front mount,glass and even carpet:thumb:
 
Yes, its true my filled block experiment doesnt appear to be working out too well. I pulled the head due to the ICS titan headgasket leaking and saw that the cylinder walls show some signs of overheating. The car ran great up to the point I pulled the head. I made several 1 hour long highway speed drives in the car to really see how the block would handle it.

I am not that dissappointed. I wanted to know how feasible a filled block would be on the street and no one knew for sure. I decided to try it myself to come up with a real answer. Not some half baked guess from someone that has never done it. Now all of you can benefit from my findings. If it was a drag strip only car it would probably be fine. If it ran on alchohol it would probably be fine on the street too. However gasoline and long duration street use looks like a no-go.

The single wastegate setup is working out perfectly BTW. I can control boost all the way down to 15psi with no creep, no spiking, no pulsing, no problems. Higher boost is equally good. I am plenty aware that most others are using twin gates. They do this to keep both sides of the turbine perfectly isolated. I theorized however that having a single gate fed off the runners in the right fashion may work just fine. I was right on this account at least :)

As far as the 2G head issue. I like 2g heads. I prefer to give up a few peak horsepower for the better power curve. Here again maybe a 1g head is better, but who has built an extreme setup such as this with a 2g head? And have they ever taken the same setup and swapped a 1g head on to see the resultant gain or loss? If they have noone has spoken up. I hope to test this out someday as well. If I make what power I feel I should then I will leave the 2G head alone. However if I seem to be hitting a wall, then I will work up a 1G head for it and we will see once and for all what one is better.

I'm certainly not saying that everything I am doing here is the "best". I am the type of guy who tries new things and answers my questions for myself by doing it myself. I may be wrong, I have been before. The filled block idea was something I wanted to try because it would have had alot of advantages to offer. For what I want to do with the car it just wasnt the right choice. I have another motor being built as I type this. This motor has been in the planning stages for a long time, its something that I had idealized many years ago and now after all these years the parts required to make it a reality are available. Its a much more costly motor to build and I needed to make sure that the to fill or not to fill question would be answered before this thing was built. The motor that I have in the car now was a test mule built for the sole purpose of testing the filled block and getting the car tuned ready for the good motor.
